### AI overview

An art post describes using vector fields, algorithmic experimentation, and a procedural tool to generate bird-like plot drawings, along with their sizes, materials, and photography details.

### Source excerpt

I love everything about these. The process was so much fun and I'm super happy how the plots turned out. I got the idea while playing with vector fields and noticed that some shapes resembled a bird. I started tweaking the algorithm and after a lot of experimentation, made a tool that procedurally generates birds. The first drawing is 22x22cm, and others are around 15x15cm. As usual, these are hard to photograph (which is why it took me ages to post them here), so thanks to my friend David for letting me use his studio lighting to take proper photos.

### AI overview

A tutorial on automating WebP banner generation and delivery in Jekyll. It explains configuring a conversion library, generating WebP files, serving them conditionally with Liquid and picture/source elements, and providing alternative text. The article also notes possible color-rendering issues with the converter.

### Source excerpt

Most modern browsers can handle the smaller & speedier WebP versions of images, yet generating them manually can be a pain! Here's how to do it automatically in Jekyll.

### AI overview

Muffin Man announces a blog redesign with a new visual identity, improved content browsing, a consolidated archive, related-post links, and keyboard-navigable search results. The site also replaced custom Jekyll plugins with Liquid-based implementations so GitHub can build it automatically.

### Source excerpt

Muffin Man is back! This time with new visual identity. This was long overdue, but new design took me more than I wanted to.Mostly because of the trillion things I'm working on. Now I can get back to writing. Alogn with the new design, some other things got updated too, hopefully making content easier to browse. To name a few: Archive is now one page with category accordion (every category used to have a dedicated page) You can now find related posts under each post (instead of the latest ones) Search results are now navigable using arrows I ditched custom Jekyll plugins to be able to use GitHub to automatically build the whole thing. Some of them got rewritten to Liquid. Hope you like it!
